Torbay Council has launched a consultation on the Draft Wellswood Shopfront Design Guide. The guide was produced by the Wellswood Community Partnership.
The purpose of the guidance is to assist local business owners and tenants with investment in the Ilsham Road area. The guide will inform future changes to local shop frontages and help to maintain and enhance Wellswood's special character.
The document will aid a greater understanding of the historic features of the area and will assist in streamlining the planning process.
The guide is available to read by following the link below. We'd be grateful if you could review the guide and let us know your thoughts by completing our survey.
The public consultation will be open between 12 September and 24 October 2025.
All comments received will be taken into account when considering the adoption of the document as a supplementary planning document.
